Migration myth

Migration myth

On 12 April you published a large photo of an attractive young woman carrying an umbrella. On 14 April you carried another photo of her, this time being escorted by a young man. I wonder if you might find room to print more pictures of her over the next two weeks to help divert us from the rather depressing economic, political and foreign news you normally carry. It's nice to find a newspaper these days that cares for the interest of its readers.

• Misinformation and myths are often part of the immigration debate. Yugo Kovach (Letters, 18 April) says "When the Spanish government granted a second amnesty to thousands of illegal immigrants, every one of them acquired the right to reside in the UK." That is not true. Residents of EU member states cannot reside in other EU member states. Only nationals can.

• Am I alone in being perplexed by the four-syllable word of Greek derivation, beginning with H (Letters, 18 April)? Or should I be slapping my hand to my head and uttering a one-syllable word of The Simpsons derivation, beginning with D?

• I am intrigued to see your ad asking for minority writers who suffer discrimination (18 April). Among the description of minorities, you list "gender". Is this aimed at the majority of men who dominate the media? Some contradiction here, I feel.
